This book presents and integrates a huge volume of new research analyzing the lives of young people entering labor markets in Europe. The role of families, employers, migration, economic crises, and regional differences in shaping transitions into and out of employment are examined with the highest quality of writing and scholarship. This tome is far more than a collection of excellent chapters; it provides the most comprehensive guide yet to the individual and
societal effects of youth labor markets, and should be read by all researchers and policymakers who care about these things.
